Just as the other Member said. When the weld solidifies it shrinks and pulls in the parent Metal.
You see a similar instruction on some large Engines as a way to remove Valve Seats inserts by running a welding bead on the Valve Seat Face. When the Metal solidifies the OD of the Valve Seat Insert shrinks and loosens it.
